| About Jim I am a long time collector of the Schoenhut Humpty Dumpty circus. I am a member of the Schoenhut Collector's Club and was a speaker at the 2009 club convention in Annapolis, Maryland. I am the Editor of the Schoenhut Collector's Club Newsletter. These circus pieces are offered for sale. Some are very nice pieces ready to start performing in your circus while others are suitable for fantasy circus artistic expression (rough). I have other pieces for sale. Contact me with your wants. Contact me with questions at 843-860-6142 or email jlsneed2@bellsouth.net I add to this list irregularly so check back often. If you are traveling near Charleston, South Carolina and want to see my inventory or my collection, let me know. If you don't see the Schoenhut circus piece you want on this page, try Judith's Toy Shop here. Condition
judgment is highly subjective. Study photos carefully. Request more
photos if you don't see what you want. Mint

even for those commonly found. Most are not known in this
condition. Postage via insured Priority mail within the 48 contiguous states included in price unless otherwise indicated.
